what about sandy berger, whose fault was it that he isnt being prosecuted -- gw's justice department, that's who also enjoyed your article -- was it freeh or the gop congress to blame for so few fbi folks being assigned to counter-terrorism intelligence work? "Well, what they’re referring to there is the fact that when Congress appropriates FBI resources, particularly FBI agents, the Congress dictates where those people are assigned,” explains Freeh, adding that he couldn’t assign his own people to the jobs that he felt were most important. But he acknowledged he could have shifted more agents to counterterrorism, if he had just asked Congress for permission. On September 11, six percent of FBI personnel were working on counterterrorism, while twice as many agents were assigned to drug enforcement."
